Spiritual | How And Why Do I Pray?

People pray in all cultures – and everybody prays in crisis. Why do we do that? Christians pray to grow their relationship with God – an intimate, loving Father. Christian prayer is to the Father, through the Son, and by the Spirit. There are rewards to prayer (presence, peace and power). God answers prayers differently. If it’s a no/wait – we may realise later why God didn’t answer at the time – but sometimes there’s no reason: I just have to trust that God is good and he loves me Jesus taught us how to pray (The Lord's Prayer). There is no set formula, but a simple model to remember is: ‘Thank you… Sorry… Please…’ 

Keep it simple, keep it real, keep it going.
